Marvel's The Creator

Chapter 18: Drawing up Plans

--Wakanda--

T'Challa had gathered everyone, including the ones who were not willing, to the lab so they could discuss the plan against the Creator. When they were all gathered, Reed, Thor and Quill were on front, ready to tell the plans. While they prepared, Pietro walked to Steve and quietly talked to him.

"I'm sorry about Wanda, it's my fault that she couldn't be here." Steve said

"It's alright. She's still mad at you but I understand why we have to bring Thanos back. He might be a asshole but he could potentially save the universe." Pietro whispered

"I hope she knows that I'm sorry with what I did. I wish I never argued with her."

"It's alright, you two will make it through," smiled Pietro, "everything."

Quill cleared his throat and opened up a hologram of a planet. It wasn't their planet but it sure was a home to others. It had many debris and ruins and it looked like it had gone through hell. It was all part of Quill's plan though.

"You may be wondering, "Why is he showing up a plenty?" or "Is this planet even improtant?" but it is very special. It's the home planet of Thanos." Quill explained, "And we're fighting here."

"So, the plan is that Quill and the Guardians will piss the Creator off so much that he starts to follow them. Then we'll lead him here," Thor pointed at Titan, "and we'll make the final blow."

"It won't be easy. He still has Loki and Outriders so we decided to split us up into groups." Reed said, as he walked around the table, "The Guardians will take the skies, the Fantastic Four will hold off the Outriders and the Avengers will take the Loki. For Thanos, his job is to kill the Creator."

"And if he decides to stab us in the back and kill us all?" Susan asked

"We actually have a plan for that if said situation happens," Thor chuckled, as he explained, "If he kills the Creator and decides to fight us all, we hold him down to the ground. We use our powers to confuse him and we'll let Mantis put him to sleep then we'll remove the gauntlet off his hands. And hopefully Carol will be willing to kill him again."

"I think that's good enough. Are all of us happy with the plan?" Steve asked

Everyone started nodding and the "planners" we're all in relief. They thought everyone would disagree since they brought a monster back to life but they were wrong. It was their only chance of beating the Creator and the easiest.

--Somewhere in the Galaxy--

The Outriders stopped running when they saw Thanos and his helpers on front of him. Strange sighed as he and Carol had barely done anything with Thanos since their task was to watch him. He was clearly capable of holding the power but they weren't sure how he would handle such power.

"Get out of my way." Thanos said as he used the Reality Stone to turn the Outriders into ashes. "Useless aliens."

"Aren't they used for suicide?" Strange asked

"Technically they were bred to die. Just like the Creator once he feels my wrath." Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet lit up with all five colors glowing. He still didn't have enough power without the Mind Stone.

"We have more coming. Outriders to your right." Carol warned

The Soul Stone lit up and he could see Outriders coming from all directions. He shut the stone off and got to work. All of the Outriders coming from their right were turned into dirt with the Reality Stone. He chuckled at the sight of this. More Outriders were coming from the front of them and Carol stood on front of Thanos.

"Can I have some fun?" Carol asked, as she used her power beam to blast the Outriders into ashes. Blood was dripping out from every single Outrider that was affected by the blast.

"The Reality Stone could have done that with ease." Thanos said, as he used the Time Stone to revive the Outriders. "I can do it with my bare fists!"

Thanos turned off the power on the Gauntlet and used his fists to fight through the aliens. Carol stood back and watched Thanos fight because she had already killed them. Strange walked through the fight, using shields to block attacks, and stood beside Carol.

"Even with his bare hands, he could do that to Outriders. Imagine if he has full power?" Strange asked

"We can take care of it Strange, if he even thinks of backstabbing us, I'll literally drive a piece of sharp metal through his back." Carol whispered

Thanos kicked and punched his way out of the fight. All of the Outriders's blood were on the wall but this time, there was more of it. Thanos used the Power Stone to punch a wall through the ship. All of the dead bodies were thrown out of the ship and he used the Time Stone to clean the walls.

"Got to give the janitors a break," Thanos chuckled as he passed by the two of them, "So, no Loki on this ship?"

"Let me check through the files to see if I could see a trace of him," Strange sighed as he dipped into the ship's security system as Thanos watched, "Have you ever thought of fighting Galactus?"

Thanos grinned, "I want him to live so I could fight him later. I want to fight other does at the moment besides him."

"Alright. Sounds reasonable for a man who blew up a planet after he was insulted." Carol smiled as she sat on the captain's seat so she could relax.

"Doesn't look comfortable, Carol." Thanos made a comfy chair for her which was floating using the Reality Stone, "Take a seat."

"Why thank you," Carol patted Thanos's shoulder, "Mad Titan."

Carol was surprised that it wasn't one of Thanos's tricks because it was really comfortable and nothing tied her to the chair. She relaxed for a moment as Strange and Thanos looked for answers to their questions. They finally found the answer when they saw Loki trading with Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order. They were trading away weapons but they weren't trading the Mind Stone which was good.

Someone started calling Strange through a small phone and he answered it because it was Steve. While they were talking, Thanos rolled through the footage and also found Supergiant.

"They said the plan is good to go. They told to meet them at Titan." Strange happily said

Thanos looked down and sighed, "My home planet. Of course."

"They told me that the Guardians are already getting the Creator to the planet."

"Put that on hold." Thanos said as the Space Stone lit up, "Let's get those two bastards first."
